1t. 1t Immediately collapsed and was
taken on board, the Nowberryport papers
OF the previous day being found in the
car. The professor has been ever since
actively engaged as an aeronaut, and al
various times has taken up every mem.
Der OF his family, having in thirty five
years made over 800 ascensions. His son,
John, Jr., who will take up the "Inde-
pendence" o-day, made hiss first ascen-
sion at the age of 8, with his grandfather.
CAUGHT IN A SNOW STORM.
One of the most notable ascensions
that has beon made was made by him,
under the direction of his father, at
Waynesburg, Green county, when he
was onty IA years old. After wording a
half day at initiating the balloon, the sup
ply OF gas gave out when the balloon
was only half full. The balloon refused
to ascend with the boy, when his father
decided to do thing that has never be-
lore or since been attempted. He cut
the lower half of the balloon off. While
he was doing this some oflicious specta-
tor cut tho valve rope two feet beyond
the boys reach, and in the midst of a
rain storm the 14-year-old aeronaut went
sailing into space, and beyond the
clouds, hatless and coatlcss and without
valve cord.
He was directed by his father not to
go over two miles, but beidg unable to
reach tho valve cord, he got caught in q
heavy snow storm and was driven forty
miles III forty minutes. Landing where
there were no means of communication,
he was not heard from for two davs.
Of ln oil
intense that they organized q committee
to search for and give him n reception
when found. When he was found the
citizens filed his hat with money. lie
was nearly frozen to death during the
voyage, and when he descended was cov-
cred with icicles. Since thcn he has
made $50 ascensions without an accident.
TWO REMARKABLE AsCENSIoNs.
The highcstascension ever made was
on September 5, 1862, by James Glaish-
er, f. II. S. He left tho earth with
aeronaut Goggswell at Wolverhampton,
England, ht LOB p. H., and at 1. 81 was
-, 600 feet high, going up at the rate of
l,OOO feet per minute. He kept on as
ccnding until the balloon attained an
altitude of 81, 900 feet. Glaisher became
utterly unconscious, but Coggswell
climbed up the ropes and pulled the
valve rope with his teeth. They de-
scended at the rate of 1000 foot per min
ute until the balloon formed q parachute,
when it came down easily, seven miles
from the starting point.
The longest and fastest balloon voyage
vas made on July l, 1859, by John
Wise, ST., La Mountain and Oliver p.
Gngcr, of New York. They left ST..
Louis at 6 p. M, and landed in Jcf1cr-
son county, New York, at 2.35 p. m the
next day, the distance being 100 miles
as the bird flies, and ], 200 miles as the

(Fr0m the Washington star, July2)
A bulletin Of the United States Fish
Commission just issued gives tho follow
ing account, uS described in Il letter to
Professor Baird, of the killing of q man
by II sword-iish:
"Ihc schooner Venus is Il small vessel
of about twelve tons, owned and com
mnnded by Franklin ID. Lnngsford, OF
LEnCSVillc, Mass, with Il crow OF three
mon, engaged III the general fisheries of
the coast of Massachusetts. On Monday
morning, August ., Captain LangBford
sailed from home III pursuit of sword.
fish. About ! | o'clock III the morning,
when eight miles northeast from lIahbuI
Point, i'll Ipswich IGy, / fish was seen
The captain, with ono man, taking ,
dOry, gavo chase, and soon hurpOonct
the fish, throwing y, tr II buoy with
unc attached to the hnrpOOu, alter Whi"l
the fish was left ana thuy return to tn,
vessel for dinner. About an hour late
the captain, with one man, again tool
his dory and went ont TO secure the fish
Picking up the buoy, Captain Langsford
took hold of the liuc, pulling his boat
toward the SwOrdish, which was quite
large and not badly wounded. The line
WAS taut us the boat slowly ncnred the
fish, which tic Captain intended to lance
and thus Kill it. When near the fish,
but too fur away to reach it with the
lance, it quickly turned and rushed at
and under the boat, thruSting its sword
its sword up through the bottom of the
boat twcnty-thrCc inches. AS the fish
turned and rushed toward thc boat the
hno was suddenly sucked, causing the
Captain to fall over on his back; and
while he WAS i'll the act OF ris ng the
sword came piercing through the boat
and into his body. At this time another
swordtish was i'll sight near by, and the
Captain, excited and anxious to secure
both, raised himself up, not knowing
that he was wounded. Seeing the sword,
he seized it, exchiming, We've got him,
anwayn lie lay in the bottom Of the
dory, holding fast to the sword until his
vessel came alongside, while the fish, be-
ing under the boat, could not be reach
ed. Soon the Captain said, i think l
am hurt, and quite badly" When the
vessel arrived he went on board, took Il
few steps, and fell, never rising again
The boat and fish were soon hoistcd on
board, when the sword was chopped of
to free the boat, and the fish was killed
on the deck Of the vessel Tho fish
weighed 2l5 pounds after its head and
tail were cut of and the visccra removed;
when alive it weighed something over
300 pounds. Captain Langsford sur
viVed the injury about three days, dying

expenditure saved There is every rca.
son to believe that if the tornado records
were carried forward for several hundred
years an astonishing regularity would be
discovered. The statistics already show
great advance in this direction.
1887 A MILD TORNADO YEAR.
The number of tornadoes reported
from January to Juno II, 1887, is 1913.
In 1886, for the same period, there were
PIG, which shows that taken yearly there
are great fluctuations. The figures SO
far indicate 1888 is q very much milder
tornado year than 1886. In July the
Eastern States begin to contribute their
proportion in addition to those still due
in tho Western States. The most i'm
portant deductions from the signal ser
vice statistics is that there is no evidence
OF variation i'll the number of tornadocs,
but only an apparent increase caused by
better reportorial and press facilities.
1t would require vast lapse of time
to demonstrate the theory that the cut
ting away Of forests affects the number
and deadly violence Of tornadoes. They
may be considered fixed characteristic
OF tho United States, like the geological
formation of tho mountain ranges, and
the average number may be considered
as little subject to change. They seem
an inevitable result Of the movement of
immense masses of air over comparative
ly levol plains and on the boundaries be-
tween the temperate and torrid zones.
Tornadoes occur in India and Japan,
and parts Of Europe where land surfaces
are free from extended mountain ranges.
1t would bo n valuable contribution to
science if the tornadocs that occur in
India and Japan were classified and re-
corded. This might lead to the further
of the science of tornado
prediction i'll the United States, which at
present awaits the action of Congress to
carry it to high degree of perfection,
saving many lives and much valuable

The following extract from Gen.
Lees report for the current year will
be of interest in this connection
During the session of 1886
three students were permitted in each
room in the dormitory, 600 rooms,)
making 800 in the building. The
commandant and the surgeon thought
the rooms too crowded. This fact,
and the smallness Of the appropriation
by the Legislature, caused the board
(of trustees) to limit the number of
students in the dormitory to two for
each room. At the beginning Of the
present session ZIG registered applica-
tons from Mississippi and ffty-fve
from other States were rejected under
the above rule for want of accommo-
dalton and teaching force. Of the
number actually registered for recep-
ton twenty-three were rejected be-
cause they were unable to pass the
examination for entrance.
"In the effort to equalize the at
tendance among the different counties
the College classes are necessarily kept
small in giving precedence to counties
not represented or having small at
tendance, as from most of these coun.
ties the boys presenting themselves
are not far advanced.

THE FARMERS COLLEGE OF
Y MISSISSIPPI. (cA

The subject of the conduct and re-
suits of an agricultural college is one
of great public concern in South Caro-
lima just now, and the interest will
steadily increase rather than diminish,
for several years to come. For this
reason, the letters of our staff CORE
spondent in relation to the farmers
institution in Mississippi, which are
in curse of publication, will be widely
read and closely studied, and they well
deserve all the consideration that can
be given to them. ar
The College at Starkville is pre-
sented as it is, and it's work is made
manifest in what it has accomplished
and what it is accomplishing. The
story Of its operation is told by a dis
interested and careful observer, and
every important detail is presented in
a clear and satisfactory light. The
narrative is encountered by no un-
proved theories or plans for future
trial. The facts are stated, and facts
only, and they are stated in so attrac-
tive a form that it is a pleasure to read
them, whether the reader is a farmer
or not, and whether he has any pros
pective interest in an agricultural col
lege in South Carolina or not.
The information which our CORE
s%pondent has collected and published
was precisely what was most wanted
in South Carolina on this subject. It
is made evident that the good word of
the Mississippi College is not confined
to the boys who attend the course. 1t
is educating the farmers in it's neigh
borhood and throughout the State, as
well. The work that has been ac-
complished by the College creamery
alone is of immense importance, as is
shown by the founding of other cream
cries in different par is of the State, by
the butter "boom" which it has
caused, and by the impulse given to
s~tock-raising.
1t is a great deal to know that ah
agricultural college a be made sdc-
cessful and widely useful in a Southern
State, and the letters of our GORE
spondent show that the College in
Mississippi is meeting all the ends that
can be reasonably required of such an
institution Charleston News and
Courier.
